Re: I'm interested to hear your proposed modifiction of the Hip Joint design

Hi hh,

"I thought that maybe increasing the thickness of the plate to allow a deeper cup would be an advantage in that dust would have a harder time collecting in the bowl. It could be increased to the point where the component has only a few thousandths of an inch clearance to the flat part of the Hip Joint."

I don't know that a deeper cup would offer any advantage in terms of dust but I do know if will be at a disadvantage sonically as it would raise the resonance frequency if the diameter is kept constant. If the diameter is enlarged you could deepen the cup but this is essentially making the design larger, not more dust resistant and not necessarily better sounding. Besides, if your environment is that dusty, I don't know that you could prevent it anyway.

Happy Listening!
Barry
